Pine straw or mulch?
Pine straw is lighter, holds on slopes and gives a classic Southern look. Mulch is denser and holds moisture longer. We will tell you which fits each bed.

Once or twice a year, depending on sun and slope.
Do you edge the beds first?
Yes. Every bed is edged before the straw goes down so the lines stay clean.
